MARTINEZ, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference
(PBC) announced their weekly awards for the week ending Tuesday,
April 12, with Georgia College’s Lindsey Conway
(Madison, Ga.) being named PBC Freshman of the
Week.

It is the first such honor for a Bobcat freshman this year, as
the infielder hit .500 (6-for-12), leading the team to a 3-1
record. Conway also drove in six runs in four games, while
scoring three.

She helped the Bobcats secure the No. 6-seed in the upcoming PBC
Tournament this weekend in Florence, S.C.

In GC’s 6-5 victory over then-No. 22 Armstrong Atlantic,
Conway was a perfect 3-for-3, scoring once and driving in
two. She also went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a stolen base in
the ‘Cats first game win over USC Aiken. Conway was
also perfect in the field, committing no errors in 19
chances.

Conway and the rest of the Bobcat softball team will be in
action again this Friday, April 15 when they take on Columbus State
University at 1:30 p.m. in the first round of the PBC
Tournament.
